TABLE OF CONTENTS Non-GEO GMSC systems are new space solutions for GMPSC such as Big LEO and Little LEO, including many other combinations of satellite orbits and systems as follows:
MEO MSS: Odyssey (abandoned) and ICO (Inmarsat-P) still in the development phase.
Big LEO MSS: Globalstar and Iridium (both will be introduced).
Little LEO and Asset Tracking MSS: E-Sat, Falsat, GEMnet, IMC SatPhone, Leo One, Orbcomm, SES Americom and Signal. Leo One and Orbcomm only will be introduced.
Broadcasting and HEO MSS: Archimedes and T-Sat.
Hybrid MSS Constellations: Celestri, Geostelesat, Ellipso (with Borealis and Concordia Subsystems) and Marathon (with Arkos and Mayak Subsystems).
Broadband MSS: M2SAT, Virtual GEO, VITAsat, S2COM and SWANcom.
Broadcast MSS: MEASAT, Sirius, XM Radio and WorldSpace.
All the above-mentioned MSS and forthcoming systems will be introduced in a new book with the title: " Global Mobile Personal Satellite Communications (GMPSC)", including regional GEO MSS such as: ACeS (Garuda), AMSC (ACS/Motient), Artemis (LLM/ESA), Emsat (EMS/Italsat), Insat (ISRO), MSAT (TMI/MSV), N-Star, Optus (former MobileSat), Solidaridad and Thuraya (EMARSAT). Accordingly, in this new book project will be also included regional navigation and tracking MSS OmniTRACS/USA and EuteITRACS including all GSAS, GNSS, GSPS and the new European Galileo system.
The handheld portable satellite phones and semi-fixed site satellite telephones are a very new communications tools available for business people, all professionals in transportation and fixed environments and everyone who wants to have satellite telephone access using big LEO GMSC systems at sea, on land and in...
